I appears that this is really big-endian vs little-endian.  I don't
see why you can't install the _intel version on Windows.  It is not a
standard package, though, so you would need to change its Makefiles.
By deleting the Makefile and moving all the sources into maps/src I was
able to cross-compile it, which indicates some hope.
